Truth is Material. Expansion of formal borders in the summing up of craftsmanship

As a reaction to my “bi-dimensional” training (graphics and web) I am deeply attracted to “real” materials. By “real” I mean “sincere”, showing their nature without imitating other materials or hiding flaws. Marble, wood, ceramics, glass, are all part of our crafts tradition and can still be approached thanks to lots of laboratories. That widespread knowledge heritage we can dip into is of priceless value. So my projects are not born from nothing. They sum up this widespread crafts knowledge, my experience and tastes together with the search for materials. That makes it difficult to establish a border between “my” and “our” project, but I think that adds value to my work.
